SOLVED

Post by martin »

a great site by the EU to solve problems, in their section under success stories is the case of portugal not allowing foreign boats to stay for longer than six months, if that applies to boats then it must apply to cars as well

here is the site

http://ec.europa.eu/solvit/site/about/index_en.htm


extract from site on one case


Flying the French flag in Portuguese waters

The French owner of a sailing yacht registered in France was asked by the Portuguese authorities in Porto de Sines to register his boat in Portugal because he had stayed in Portuguese ports for longer than six months. The yacht owner wanted to keep the French flag and turned to SOLVIT for help. SOLVIT Portugal contacted the maritime port authority to clarify the situation. It appeared that the six month limitation was not applicable to EU registered boats. This was explained to the local port authorities so that the French sailor could keep his flag. Solved within 12 days
